___________________
Notes:
(1) When March 19 falls on a Sunday, the Feast of St. Joseph is moved to the following day, March 20. However, if March 19 and 20 both fall during Holy Week, the Feast of St. Joseph is transferred in proximum sequentem diem, to “the nearest following day” that does not take precedence. Ordinarily this means the Monday following Divine Mercy Sunday (Low Sunday), but in a year in which the Feast of the Annunciation has been transferred to that Monday, then St. Joseph is observed on the following day, Tuesday.
(2) The observance of the anniversary of Pope Francis’ solemn installation on March 19, 2013, is perpetually moved to March 20 in 2014 and subsequent years (Rubric 363). When March 20 falls on a Sunday, the anniversary is observed on the following day, March 21. However, if March 20 and 21 both fall during Holy Week, the anniversary is observed during the week following Divine Mercy Sunday (Low Sunday).
(3) When March 25 falls on a Sunday, the Feast of the Annunciation is moved to the following day, March 26. However, if March 25 and 26 both fall during Holy Week, the Feast of the Annunciation is transferred in proximum sequentem diem, to “the nearest following day” that does not take precedence, i.e., the Monday following Divine Mercy Sunday (Low Sunday).
(4) This six-page document includes a cut half sheet as an insert. For printing, two sheets of 8½” x 11″ paper, double-sided, are required. Print the last two pages of this file double-sided on one sheet, and then cut it down the middle.
(5) When a feast day falls on a Sunday and its observance is superseded by the Mass for that Sunday, then it is sometimes required to commemorate that feast within the Mass for the Sunday. (Also, when a feast day falls on a weekday but a votive Mass is being offered that day, it may be required to commemorate that feast within the votive Mass.) The Priest makes the commemoration by praying a second Collect, a second Secret, and a second Postcommunion prayer. This addendum contains those commemorations for the feast indicated. If you print an “Addendum” sheet in duplex (double-sided) mode, then you can it in half down the middle, and you will have two identical “Addendum” sheets.
(6) A priest is permitted to offer up to three Masses on All Souls Day. Whether he offers one, two, or three Masses, the priest is to offer them in the order indicated here, i.e., First, Second and Third. The ordinals refer to the priest personally, not to the parish or other place.
January 1st I believe should be The Circumcision of Our Lord but clicking on it pulls up the Mass for the Epiphany
